Vidya Souls

In the Age of Shit, the games were pricy, shrouded by DLC.
An industry of bad ports, dead franchises, and Electronic Arts.

But then there was good vidya. And with good vidya, came disparity.
RPGs and Shooters. RTS and Fighters. And of course, Hardcore and Casual.

Then, from the dark they came, and found the fabled fun within the games.
John Carmack, the first of the devs.
Chris Avellone, and his team of great writers
Gabe, Lord of Steam and his faithful drones
And indie developers, so easily forgotten.

With the strength of fun, they challenged EA.
Gabe's mighty sales peeled apart their market share,
Obsidian weaved great narratives,
Carmack unleashed a wave of technological advancement
And Bioware the Talentless betrayed his own.

And EA was no more.

Thus began the Age of Vidya.
